Abstract

Virtual Reality with associated hardware and software advances is becoming a viable tool in neuroscience and similar fields. Technology has been harnessed to modify a user’s state of mind for some time through different approaches. Combining this background with merged reality systems, it is possible to develop intelligent tools which can manipulate brain states and enhance training mechanisms.
